Chapter 27:
Lucy looked up at the collections of books that were racked up across the library shelves. Her and Levy were on a little hunt to see if there was any book in this library that contained anything to do with magic and magic spells inside. Since Natsu and Gray carelessly decided to chant out these words from a letter that was delivered to them, thus leaving the two mages literally glued to each other.
"I haven't even found one book about magic" Levy said with a frown as she let out a deep breath, "It's like the world of magic doesn't exist in this library, or more likely this town."
Lucy raised an eyebrow as she began to pull out each book one by one throwing down towards Levy, "We just can't give up here Levy I don't think Gray and Natsu would be too happy if we don't find something to undo this."
"Well Lucy, this isn't like the library back at the guild" Levy said with a deep sigh as she began scrambling frantically through the pile of books the celestial mage had created from throwing them down the shelves, "I'm used to being able to just look down one shelf and being able to find the book I'm looking for without any troubles. Just face it Lu-chan we aren't going to find anything here"
Lucy bit her bottom lip in defeat as she looked down at the bluenette who had her arms crossed with a hopeless expression. She had to admit that Levy was practically right they had been searching each shelf for some period of time and still hadn't even found one single book that has to do with magic.
"I guess you have a point there Levy" Lucy said with a sigh as she began to climb down the ladder, "What do you suppose we do? Erza is counting on us to find something fast for those two."
As Lucy was about to open her mouth, the doors of the library busted open revealing the unhappy Natsu and Gray along with Freed and Laxus who was trailing behind them. And from the looks on Natsu and Gray's face, Lucy could already tell that the two were getting rather impatient that they haven't found anything to fix this yet.
"Get away from me you annoying stripper" Natsu said with an annoyed tone as he glared at the ice mage, "Wherever I go, all I hear is your damn bickering!"
"Well I'd love to get away from you, but I think you've forgotten that we're stuck together idiot! And whos fault was that? Practically yours since you thought it'd be a good idea to say those words that were on the letter out loud."
"Just shut it you two" Laxus said with a groan as he rubbed the back of his head, "I heard about their little situation, so I thought I'd bring Freed over to see if he can be an assistance with you two. I just hope we find this damn book soon before I have to deal with another bickering between these idiots."
"First things first, do you still have the letter that Gray and Natsu had chanted the words off of?" Freed said as he raised an eyebrow towards Lucy and Levy who were scratching their chin in thought.
"I'm pretty sure those two left it in the class they were in last" Levy said crossing her arms, "But what will we do with it once we bring it?"
Freed looked at Levy and gently smiled at the script mage, "Well I guess it'll be both of ours job to rewrite the enchantment that was casted onto the letter that caused this. I honestly thought this would've been the first thing to come to your mind, but I understand since you were frantically looking for a magic book without the idea popping into mind."
Levy laughed quietly as her cheeks flushed in embarrassment that she had completely forgotten that she herself was a script mage which meant that all that time they were scrambling through the books she could've already rewritten the enchantment.
"If we want to fix this quickly, we need to go retrieve that letter" Freed said as he then turned to Lucy, "Do you think you'd be able to quickly fetch it for us? I'm sure Laxus will go along with you right now since Natsu and Gray are obviously out of the question. He'll go along just in case any of the Sabertooth members such as Minerva tries to interfere as you're on your way."
"Don't worry chickie, I'm sure we won't even see her anyways" Laxus said with a grin, "Besides if she even tried to do anything, Mira and I would probably have to teach her a lesson or two. Anyways, let's get going since the quicker we get there, the less Natsu and Gray together we'd have to endure."
Lucy nodded her head in agreement as she and Laxus began to head out of the library doors and into the crowded hall full of students. She let out a sigh knowing that it'd be a little tricky to figure out what class Natsu and Gray were in last since they hadn't even asked them about that. She already knew that they were already at a rough start.
"Any ideas where those two idiots were" Laxus said clasping his hands behind his neck, "Because, if we don't figure this out we're going to have to look in every room."
Lucy then scanned her eyes around the crowds of people that were just hanging out in the hall, as she noticed the speck of white spiky hair. An idea finally came to mind as she immediately snapped her fingers, "I'm pretty sure Lyon was in their last class, maybe he can tell us where those two left the letter at."
"Better hope so chickie" Laxus said as he shoved his hands into his pockets as he dashed over to the celestial mage who was already tapping Lyon on the shoulder. The ice mage then swiftly turned around with a confused expression to the fact why all of a sudden Lucy is deciding to talk to him along with Laxus.
"Let me guess, you're here to ask me about the Natsu and Gray incident?" Lyon said letting out a deep breath which soon turned into a loud snicker, "If you're looking for that letter the two idiots read out loud, its right here. I was actually on my way to give it to them, so it's great that you've actually come to me."
Lucy took the letter from Lyon and then looked at the golden piece of paper engraved with red writing. She raised an eyebrow as the writing was written in a different language which meant this was definitely something for both Freed and Levy to figure out.
"That was actually easy" Laxus said peering over Lucy's shoulder as he narrowed his eyes to the paper, "And what kind of language is that? It looks pretty ancient to me it even seems like something that was probably around Gramps' time."
Lucy sweat dropped at the Lightning Dragon Slayer's comment about Master being somewhat "ancient" if he thought that language was around his time, "Well we should start heading back to the library; Natsu and Gray are going to be pretty happy once they see this."
Laxus nodded his head as him and the celestial mage began walking back towards the library. He then widened his eyes at the sight that was standing in front of the double doors of the library, and slowly gritted his teeth against each other. He then looked over to Lucy who had an emotionless expression on her face as well to the person that was standing in front of the doors as if they were purposely waiting for their arrival back.
"What're you exactly doing here Yukino?" Lucy said with widened eyes as she softly clutched her fists. Right now at the moment, she had no idea how to react to seeing this mage who had kissed Sting when they were dating. It was as if all the feeling and life was sucked out of the celestial mage; she didn't know if she was going to just burst out crying, or just end up going on a rampage.
"I just wanted to talk to you" Yukino said silently as she clasped her hands together, "I'm sure what I'm about to tell you may surprise you a little…"
"And why exactly should chickie do that" Laxus said as he took a step forward to Yukino with his arms crossed, "May I remind you that you were caught with Sting? You really think she'll want to talk to you after that? Trust me, when Mirajane found out that it was you that caused that she finally realized you weren't like Lisanna at all."
Yukino stood silent as her muscles tensed to the deep glare that Laxus was sending towards her. It seemed that he had found out about the incident, and along with Mirajane he was one of the people that were quite pissed off about it.
"Whatever you have to say, you can just shove it up your-"
"Laxus it's alright" Lucy said with a gentle smile towards the Lightning Dragon Slayer, "You just go on ahead and give Freed and Levy the letter. I guess I'll hear what Yukino has to say."
"Alright" Laxus said as he began walking past Yukino giving her one last glare before finally disappearing through the doors of the library leaving Lucy and Yukino alone with an awkward atmosphere surrounding them.
"Well?" Lucy said as her calm expression turned into a darkened glare, "Exactly what do you have to say? How much you loved kissing Sting or perhaps on how happy you are Sting and I have ended? Well if that's what you've come here for then you're wasting your time."
Yukino tilted her head towards the ground as her white bangs covered her eyes, "To tell you the truth Lucy- Sting didn't do anything at all when you had spotted us. It was practically all me, I was the one who had just kissed Sting right there out of the blue and you just happened to show up. He never intended to do anything bad, it was all me. I just came here to finally take responsibility for my actions, and I never wanted to do harm to you both; my emotions got to the best of me."
Lucy's eyes widened at Yukino as she soon noticed a streak of glistening water running down her cheek. She couldn't believe what she was hearing to think that it was all Yukino that had done this and she didn't even try to hear out Sting. She somewhat felt guilty that she should've at least hear them out for an explanation before reacting, but of course if anyone had seen that; that would've been their first reaction.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make things right. Don't blame this on Sting. That's all I wanted to say." Yukino said as she looked up at the celestial mage with a small smile, "Take good care of him that's all I ask of you."
Yukino then started walking away before she heard footsteps coming after her. She turned back to see the celestial mage running after her soon wrapping her arms around her into a hug. She raised an eyebrow as she noticed tears emerging from the corner of her chocolate brown orbs.
"Thank you Yukino…" Lucy said between sniffles, "Thank you"
Yukino smiled at the celestial mage before returning the hug back as she soon released the celestial mage waving good bye to her.
Lucy watched as Yukino soon disappeared into the distance as she now as alone standing in the isolation of the now empty hallway. She then looked over to Levy, Laxus, Freed, and a now seperated Gray and Natsu standing beside her.
"I guess things are starting to clear up huh?" Laxus said with a grin.
"Yeah it looks like they are" Lucy said as she smiled brightly at the Lightning Dragon Slayer, "And to think she would actually come back to say those things to me."
Natsu raised an eyebrow, "Who said what to you?"
"I'll tell you later Natsu" Lucy said with a bright smile until her face turned into a confused expression as Gray who was shivering in fear as if he had seen the thing he feared the most. She decided to figure out what was bothering the ice mage.
"What's wrong Gray?"
"I completely forgot that we were also supposed to be with Erza right now since Jellal will be coming anytime soon, and you know how nervous she's going to be if we're not there…"
Once Gray had stated that, the six mages were now dipping down the hall making their way towards the class that Titania was impatiently waiting for them in. They just hoped that Jellal wouldn't be there already or they would have to face her wrath for leaving her alone with her nervousness.
Well so basically all I'm going to say about the next chapter is that it's going to continue with the Erza thing! :D AND LET'S JUST SAY IM THROWING SOME SURPRISES *SNICKER*
